i think a cursory SD fan would say that and almost be flummoxef by theri non-inclusion but irt to rginal question and matters of personal taste i keep the list

i will concede Kid C is their best popular song and most underrated studio session tied with Aja

Showbiz Kids is an hidden gem in discography

great use of the word fuck that usually sneaks by mainstream FM radio

irt PotQ, its sandwiched between King of the World and My old SChool so it will always pale in comparison when played contiguously

great hook, bridge and chorus, not much too dislike - overpowered by a more powerful tracklist on this album unfortunately

unggh i love this song

Steely Dan is a massive utilizer of the Mu Major chord (sometime calle dther Steely Dan chord)

IMO this song and Bad Sneakers have the BEST use of Mu Major chord

As Donald Fagen has explained on occasions, the mu major chord is "a major chord with an added second".

in Your Gold teeth you can hear very brief appearances (type I, basic voicing) at 2:40 and 4:55 at the end of the middle eight sections ("Won't suck me in this time"). BONER INDUCING CHORD

there ain`t nothing in Chicago for you to do friend

i love the ob-la-di ob-la-da reference they throw in right after the "tobacco they grow in peking" line

i was prepared to shit all over you for your snubbing of kid charlemagne, which i believe is not only the GOAT dan song but might have the GOAT guitar solo of all time

but your attention to detail in the remainder of this thread and clear knowledge of the catalogue and its musical influences has earned my respect

also i think deacon blues is better than a couple of your t5 but that's just personal choice

DB has inched it's way to the periphery of my top 5 (arguably 7, 8 right now upon repeated listenings)

its pure audiophilia and i feel guilty hearing it on anythign below sennheiser grade

I hate Yes but the lead singer of Yes randomly appeared at Best Buy to sign records when I was shopping there. I suppose it was a planned event but it all happened super fast. In <5 minutes they had a chair and a folding table set up, and there was a line of about 40 people formed within minutes.
